zelachang:The whole doctors vs nurses things is so farking retarded. You need both to have a well functioning medical system. Yeah there's shiatty doctors out there who are incompetent and just went into it for the money but there's plenty of lazy nurses who mess up/don't fill orders who can completely screw a patient over (especially bad in cash strapped county hospitals). In the optimal situation, you have experienced nurses who care for their patients and can inform the attending doctor of any notable changes in their patients and you have doctors who can take that information and make decisions on the next best course of action. No matter what nurses with inferiority complexes say, when the shiat hits the fan, at some point you're going to need the knowledge a doctor has.

As someone who works in a cash strapped hospital, I couldn't agree more.

I've been working in health care (HCA/CNA) for 2 years now. When I was 18, I would have laughed in your face if you had told me I would be wiping asses for a living. I love helping people, especially the seniors who don't have many family/friends around to visit.

That said, I honestly dread going to work now. On one of the wards I work on, it is extremely rare to have all scheduled employees show up for their shift. We have been chronically under-staffed since I started, usually one nurse, or sometimes two, and quite often short a hca/nca as well.

We are all incredibly tired and stressed out, because we can't give the care we want. 95 percent of my co-workers are in this field for the right reasons, to help others. Not only that, mistakes are made( sometimes big ones) because of the fatigue, and the simple fact staff doesn't have time to be thorough. How pathetic is that?

Sorry you are disabled, dude. But you are disabled. You are lacking an ability. That is not a good thing. It doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't make you worth less than other people. But lacking the ability to hear is still worse than being able to hear, and all your deaf pride isn't going to change that.

Don't you dare be sorry for that. I've seen it. It makes me stabby. Thank you for at least giving all you have when you are there. Don't, for a second, stand for the others who laze about. Call them on it. The patient comes first. Keep fighting. You are all that patient has as a defense. I know it can wear on you. You feel helpless and like no one is listening.

Sorry you are an egotistical asshole, dude. But you are egotistical. You are lacking humility. This is not a good thing. It doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't make you worth less than other people. But lacking the ability to think in any other way than your own is still worse than being able to have an open mind, and all your rants aren't going to change that.

I would not want a family member going there.

Sorry for the rant

I volunteered in a nursing home for a few summers after high school and was always amazed at the compassion and dedication of the nursing staff there. Yes, there were a rare few who just didn't care and it showed, but they were in the vast, vast minority. My grandmother also spent considerable time in hospital/palliative care while she was suffering from Alzheimer's and her nurses were absolutely phenomenal.

Overstressed and overworked or not, you do amazing work and help give dignity to these people in the twilight of their lives. I'm not even close to being the only one who understands that and appreciates it.

To do what you do, you are a special person and people are blessed to have someone there who wants to do the right thing as much as possible.

I was going to write something I thought was clever here, but with my Fark luck, some phuqer would have sent me to time-out.

If being deaf is better, why aren't we skewering everyone's earholes with hot pokers so everyone can feel the bliss of deafness? Are you phuqing deafers jealous of us, who weren't born with your gift, wanting to be happy being deaf like you?
